The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1887-06-08

Half of your life will pass before you en-
ter upon the path in which you will
achieve success. Your mind is active,
but you are more brilliant than thorough.
You have loved three times; each time
deeply. And these experiences have had,
more than is common, profound influence
on the formation of your character. Your
impulses are generous; but you dissect
your own motives until the original i'm
pulse Is fairly worn out. You would be
stronger man in every way were it not
for this custom of recasting all your iudg-
ments. This habit probably makes it
very difficult for you to confess fault. ("
Here Mr. Burlingame raised his eyes to
those of Miss Dewing with look of en-
treaty. She dropped her lids and stood
motionless.
'You have pride and ambition; backed
by your mental alertness, they will lead
to great successes-I think in the field of
literature. What you have once pos
sessed you cling to with tenacious affec-
tion-old clothes, old books, home, or
heart. This might prove inconvenient
If you were light of love- but you are
very constant-in fact, incapable of in
constancy. You will marry for love if YOU

may never marry. You would be largely
led by your feelings if you were more in
genuous. Your self-inquisition torments
you into complex action, misleading to
yourself and others"
With sigh of relief Burlingame with
drew his hand. A buzzing chatter be-
gan, and he turned away, when Mr..
Sutherland, with the zeal of the specialist,
said
sit has interested me greatly to note
the peculiarities of your hand and that of
the lady preceding you. If 1 were per-
mitted to go into detail you would be as
tonished to see how curiously they COM

every morbid tendency in your nature
lies in the indication of sanguine courage
in hers. The ideal and artistic percep-
tions are most unusual. You are not re-

His words were overheard, and sud
denly Lisette's hand flashed like a flower
between them.
You have overlooked one trait in
which we differ wholly" she whispered,
excitedly; sit is that of inficting pain
upon himself and others, and that l
would not share with him for all the
worldp
With an abrupt movement she passed
| through the crowd and stood quivering
in the shadow of curtained window,
''Dear Lisette," whispered Mrs. Van
der Venter, who, observing her agitation,
had quietly joined her, ''why did you
betry yourself9 why did you let him see
that your composure could be ruffled"

''He loves you, dear; feel sure of it,
All will come right in time
Grateful for the gentle sympathy,
though unconvinced, Lisette clasped her
friends hand silently.
Meanwhile Burlingame had stalked
away from the tete-a-tete and from the
''impertinent juggler" in rage. He felt
that he would burst into atoms if com

the conservatory, he stamped violently

Presently he heard soft rustic, and
turning around beheld Miss Dewing in
the doorway. Mrs. Van der Venter had
brought her there to rest. She needed
to be alone, and the pungent perfumes,
splashing waters, cleaning fairy lamps,
offered a soothing calm.
She seated herself beneath a great
palm, and gazed in sorrowful meditation
at the pink shade of the nearest light.
A passionate voice at her side broke
the stiffness and made her spring to her
feet.

over Lisette's lovely head.
The happy stir in her heart seemed
like the life of spring Her pulses
bounded, and a subtle thrill passed over
her With tender gesture of con-
